Each 5 mg contains:
35.6 mg zinc gluconate
Zinc Gluconate is a nutritional supplement containing the zinc salt form of gluconic acid to provide zinc.
Zinc is involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism. It is required for the catalytic activity of approximately 100 enzymes and it plays a role in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division. Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.
Severe zinc deficiency depresses immune function, and even mild to moderate degrees of zinc deficiency can impair macrophage and neutrophil functions, natural killer cell activity, and complement activity.
Zinc helps maintain the integrity of skin and mucosal membranes.
Researchers have hypothesized that zinc could reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms by directly inhibiting rhinovirus binding and replication in the nasal mucosa and suppressing inflammation.
Dietary Zn is absorbed in the small intestine and distributed to the peripheral tissues, including skeletal muscle (60%), bone (30%), skin (5%), and other tissues (5%). Zn deficiency causes various abnormalities in humans and animal models, such as growth retardation, immune dysfunctions, diarrhea, and skin diseases, including acrodermatitis enteropathica.
Zinc deficiency is characterized by growth retardation, loss of appetite, and impaired immune function. In more severe cases, zinc deficiency causes hair loss, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation, impotence, hypogonadism in males, and eye and skin lesions. Weight loss, delayed healing of wounds, taste abnormalities, and mental lethargy can also occur. Many of these symptoms are non-specific and often associated with other health conditions; therefore, a medical examination is necessary to ascertain whether a zinc deficiency is present.
A zinc deficiency can increase the risk of various problems, including:
– delayed growth in children
– a loss of appetite
– changes in taste
– a higher risk of infections
– fertility problems
– diarrhea
– problems with wound healing
– eye and skin lesions
– problems with thinking
For children 5 ml daily
